This soothing walk takes you out of time. Come and discover one of the most curious and emblematic chapels in the local heritage. Huddled against its rock, it has been patiently waiting for you for at least 600 years.

Description

As soon as you step onto the wide carriage path, you quickly feel the sense of calm that is typical of places steeped in history. Strolling along at a leisurely pace, you enjoy the caress of the breeze and the coolness of the track as you approach the building and its secrets. You've arrived. Before your encounter with Notre-Dame du Charmaix, cross the porch and the solid stone bridge, cross the Grand Vallon torrent and take a closer look at the chapel and its astonishing construction. It seems to hang from the cliff. Back inside, look out for Notre-Dame du Charmaix, and observe the decorations, paintings and black-and-white statue of the Virgin and Child. A real bath in freshness and history, along an access path that deserves special attention if you're accompanied by our canine friends.
